One of the strongest words in our dictionary is father. For better or worse, the word seems to always invoke an emotional response. In Luke 15 Jesus tells three stories illustrating the heart of God toward those apart from Him. The third and final exhibits the heart of a father for a son whose life decisions seperate him from his father. In the story we see the heart of our heavenly Father, whose optimism, patience, grace, and forgiveness paint a self portrait of the God whose favorite title for Himself is Father.
